Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the time for a stick of incense passed. Li Xian never spoke again. The atmosphere in the hall became solemn and depressing, but Li Xian didn't care at all.
Because he knew very well that Li Xian had a stubborn personality, and it was not easy to convince him. It had to rely on skill and control of the heat. This was the same as cooking - if you start the pot early, the vegetables will be raw, and if you start the pot later,
If the food is cooked, the food will have to be mushy, and it must be just right before the pot can be cooked. And this point has been considered by Li Xian before coming to Prince Lu's Mansion, so he will not be anxious because of Li Xian's silence.
He just sat there silently, sipping tea in his leisure time, as if nothing happened.
Li Xian is not short of patience. When he was a civil servant in later generations, in order to persuade the people who had sit-in demonstrations in front of the city hall, Li Sheng, the director of the department at the time, stayed up for three days and nights to accompany the demonstrations.
The reporter talked freely about his "ideal in life" and forced nearly a thousand demonstrators to wear him down. Comparing his patience with Li Xian at this moment is like child's play. He can do it just by playing. In comparison, Li Xian can still tolerate it.
How can I hold on to the end with a guy like Li Xian who is almost a monster? No, just after a stick of incense passed, poor Li Xian was already out of breath, and his chest, which was not very strong, rose and fell.
It has to be like pulling a bellows.
"You, what do you want to do? Well, tell me, tell me!" Li Xian's heart was obviously completely confused. He clapped his hands several times angrily and almost shouted angrily in a roaring voice.
"Sixth Brother's words are serious, but I just want to tell some facts. At that time, the Prime Ministers (Zhu Suiliang) and Prime Minister Laiji (Lai Ji) were demoted and no one spoke, so they died. Also, Prime Minister Han (Han Yuan) was raped and raped.
After being ridiculed, no one spoke up, so Prime Minister Han also died. Later, Prime Minister Changsun was ridiculed again, but still no one spoke up. Unfortunately, he also died. Now Prime Minister Shangguan has also been falsely accused, and it seems that he cannot escape.
Once he dies, whose turn it will be next, maybe my younger brother, who can help me by that time?" Li Xian was furious, but Li Xian was as calm as water, and spoke in a calm tone.
There were a lot of veterans who died because of Empress Wu's conspiracy.
The group of old prime ministers listed by Li Xian were apparently demoted and killed because of the frame-up of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who had just been demoted last year. But everyone knows that these old ministers were killed by Empress Wu. These are just
There are countless people at the prime minister level, as well as lower-level mid-level officials who were killed because of Empress Wu's manipulation of power. It is really shocking to list them in such detail, especially when it comes to Li, who has never been favored by Empress Wu.
There was a sound like thunder in Xian's ears, which shocked him so much that his face turned pale.
"That's enough. You're crazy and nonsense. You're such a coward. You want to plot rebellion? I'm going to help you now!" Li Xian was furious in his heart, but he was unwilling to believe that Empress Wu would take action against him. In order to cover up, Li Xian was furious.
With panic in his heart, he suddenly stood up, looked at Li Xian angrily, and shouted repeatedly.
All of Li Xian's reactions were naturally expected by Li Xian. Seeing him getting angry at this moment, Li Xian didn't care at all. He glanced at Li Xian indifferently and picked up the tea bowl in his hand.
He took a slow sip, and then said with a sneer: "Sixth brother can take ginseng if he wants. Let's see if my mother believes it or not."
"You... bastard, get out, get out, I don't have a brother like you!" Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Li Xian felt his anger rising up, and he yelled without restraint as he saw stars under his eyes.
, the commotion was so loud that the servants outside the hall were so shocked that they all gathered around the hall. However, no one dared to enter the hall and stir up the dispute between the two brothers without being summoned by Li Xian.
"Haha, okay, Sixth Brother said so. I can just leave. What about this? Hey, I'm afraid I don't know what the situation will be like when I come back. Say goodbye!" Li Xian was very straightforward and did not hesitate.
He stood up, swung his sleeves, said something formal, turned around and walked out of the hall.
One step, two steps, three or four steps, Li Xian's pace was very calm, neither fast nor slow, just like strolling in the courtyard. In ten steps, he had reached the screen at the entrance of the hall, but he never heard anything.
Li Xian spoke again, and Li Xian's heart tightened slightly. However, now that the matter had reached this point, he could no longer look back. He could only bite the bullet and continue walking out.
"Wait a minute!" Just as General Li Xian was about to turn around the screen, Li Xian, who had always been silent, finally lost his temper and shouted in a louder voice.
Hey, good boy, you can't help it anymore? Well, it's time for the main show! When Li Xian, who was originally worried, heard Li Xian's shout, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
, but his face remained calm, and he slowly turned back, not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at Li Xian silently.
"You, you, what do you want to say?" Li Xian, who felt uncomfortable looking at him, twisted his body unnaturally and asked uneasily.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Li Xian said casually as he slowly walked back to the table.
As the saying goes: It doesn't take a heavy hammer to play a drum. Li Xian was naturally alert and could understand the unfinished meaning of Li Xian's words. However, it was precisely because he understood that he felt frightened. He was already pale.
His face suddenly lost all color, and he looked at Li Xian dully for a while, then he cupped his hands solemnly and said, "Please give me advice."
Li Xian has always had a high self-esteem and never looked at Li Xian seriously in the past, but at this time he saluted formally, which shows that deep down in his heart, he regards Li Xian as a person who can talk to him on an equal footing. This is very important to Li Xian.
To others, it may be a great good thing, but what Li Xian wants is not such a result. The reason is very simple. Li Xian still hopes to use the always conceited brother in front of him as a shield, so he doesn't intend to.
At this moment, I am on par with him.
"Sixth Brother's words are serious. I have been foolish since I was a child. If I can have an insight, but the bystander has a clear ear, if I can help Sixth Brother one or two, it will be a great honor for me." Li Xian returned the gift respectfully,
After being humble for a while, he turned to the topic and said in a deep voice: "My father is a gentleman, so he is not good at fighting. As a result, every time the traitors in the court are rampant, their arrogance becomes more and more arrogant. If they are not stopped, what will happen to the court?"
Neng Zhen, today, the prince's brother is weak and kind-hearted. Even if he has the intention, it is difficult to punish evil. I have seen all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, but only the sixth brother can take on this important task. This is the reason why the sixth brother joins the vassal state.
.”
"so what?"
Li Xian's temperament is relatively impulsive, but he is not the kind of brainless and reckless person. He cannot be easily moved by a series of flattering words or extremely cheap provocations, even if he is right at this moment.
Li Xian looked at him differently, but that didn't mean that he would follow Li Xian's baton like a puppet. Hearing that Li Xian wanted to carry him out to compete with Empress Wu, he immediately woke up.
After coming to his senses, he glanced at Li Xian calmly and said in a calm tone.
"Sixth brother, do you know what the argument between father and Xu Shizhong was in the imperial study room yesterday?"
Li Xianping became calm and angry very quickly, showing good mental control ability, but Li Xian was not surprised at all. Probably because of the memory of his previous life, Li Xian had long known what kind of person his brother was, and he knew Li Xian better.
At this moment, I was thinking about something in my mind, and I would not let Li Xian's question take away the initiative of the conversation, so I changed the subject with a smile.
"Seventh brother is just talking about the edict of amnesty. Is there something fishy in it?"
As a person with great ambitions, Li Xian naturally has reliable information channels. Besides, yesterday morning, he himself had an unpleasant quarrel with Xu Jingzong over the amnesty edict.
The news is of course very sensitive, so how could he not be aware of the dispute between the king and his ministers in the imperial study room yesterday afternoon, but so far, Li Xian still couldn't figure out the strangeness behind this imperial edict. At this time, Li Xian changed the topic to this,
He couldn't help but become suspicious, and looked at Li Xian suspiciously for a while, and then hesitantly spoke to test.
"The reason why my father rushed to sign this amnesty edict is just to save one person." As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Li Xian immediately replied.
"Oh? This happened, who is this person?" Li Xian was so sure when he said Li Xian's words, he was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought about it carefully, but still failed to pay attention to Li Xian
Who was he referring to? After pondering for a moment, he had to ask.
Li Xian looked solemn and said word by word: "Shangguanyi!"
"What? This, this, how is this possible? Well, no, Shangguan Laoxiang..." Li Xian was obviously frightened by Li Xian's words. He stood up suddenly and exclaimed, his face changing for a long time.
, he managed to calm down, bit his lip, stared blankly at Li Xian, who was sitting as usual, took a deep breath and said: "Seventh brother is really going to die without saying anything shocking, but I don't know if seventh brother has any evidence."
?You must know that this matter is important and should not be trifled with. Seventh brother must not speak nonsense."
Evidence? How to find evidence for this kind of thing? Is it possible to go to Gaozong for verification? To be honest, if Li Xian didn't have the memory of three generations, he would never be able to see through the mystery, but facing Li Xian's
When asked, Li Xian couldn't show his clumsiness, so he sneered and said: "Evidence? If we insist on evidence in everything, it would be easy to handle. The world will be appeased from now on. Sixth Brother doesn't think this question is too pedantic.
Did you get some?"
"Seventh brother, you..." After being retorted by Li Xian, Li Xian's face immediately became agitated. He tried to make a retort, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't know where to start.
, he could only stop and glare at Li Xian angrily.
"It is true that those without evidence can't convince the public. What I say is just words. I would like to ask Sixth Brother to explain it. If you really want to say evidence, it's not that there is no evidence. I dare to bet with my brother. If nothing happens, I will die today.
It's the day when Lord Shangguan's family will be put to death and imprisoned!" Just when Li Xian was secretly annoyed, Li Xian suddenly changed the subject and revealed his trump card, shocking Li Xian again.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother, you, oh, are you trying to be angry with your brother? Is there anything you have to say that you can't finish at once?" Li Xian was shocked and shocked after being tossed by Li Xian several times in the morning. Li Xian was obviously
He was stunned by the commotion, but he couldn't rebuke Li Xian anymore, so he shook his head with a wry smile and dismissed Li Xian. Then, without giving Li Xian a chance to explain, he waved his hand and said: "Seventh brother
What do you want to do? Please just tell me."
"When Sixth Brother asks, I should tell you the truth." Li Xianchang knelt down and replied solemnly: "I have not been able to write well since I was a child, and I am not good at martial arts. I am mediocre. Every time my brother teaches me a lesson, he will do it."
Out of love, I will never dare to be outside my elder brother. I have made up my mind. From tomorrow onwards, I will join the army and become a disciple to learn martial arts. Nowadays, there is still unrest around the Tang Dynasty. I don’t think I will be called Huo Guanjun Dumei.
I will succeed in the future, and I will be my brother’s pioneer, conquer the world, and consolidate our foundation for the Tang Dynasty for all generations!”
"Apprenticeship? Who is the seventh brother planning to become his disciple? I'm very curious as a brother." Hearing Li Xian's impassioned words, Li Xian's curiosity was immediately aroused and he could no longer think about the previous amnesty edict.
, hurriedly asked.
"I already have a good teacher in mind, but this matter still needs my father's approval. We will know in the future, so let's leave it alone. I came to look for my brother today, not only to save Lord Shangguan's family, but also to take this opportunity to get rid of him.
There is a treacherous person in the court, if the sixth brother is willing to raise his arms and raise his voice, the younger brother should come with Jiwei and jointly build this unparalleled feat." Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Xian did not want to get involved in trivial matters any more.
Then he cupped his hands and spoke in a deep voice.
"Well..." Li Xian was already keen on participating in court affairs, so how could he not be moved by Li Xian's proposal? It's just that the matter was so serious that Li Xian would not dare to accept it easily. But in front of Li Xian, who was eager to seek refuge, he made an excuse to refuse.
It was difficult to say the words casually, so while hesitating, his brows could not help but frown.
"Brother Six, I already have some knowledge about this matter. Maybe it can be used. This matter should be..." Seeing Li Xian acting like this, Li Xian laughed secretly in his heart. He would not let go of this great opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, smiling.
He stood up, walked to Li Xian, leaned close to Li Xian's ear, and began to explain in a nonchalant manner. Hearing Li Xian's face change constantly from joy to surprise to doubt.
